TLC40 - evolution continues - logbook Toyota Land Cruiser 1978
Today finally kicked off Lemonade Joe's transformation process.
The result should be the following: Lemonade Joe, while remaining a 40, will essentially acquire several new features vital to
1. Improve flotation.
2. Increase survivability.
Everything. I'm not pursuing any other goals.
Main stages:
1. Power steering.
2. Conversion of the leaf spring suspension to spring-lever.
3. Radical modification of electrics.
4. Power frame.
5. Fitness and optimization.
Most likely, I will not seek such moves - this is Tenerife, they have mountains and excavator ditches in honor there. Therefore, the people grow the pendant as soon as they can. For me, half of this is enough for the canvas. The main thing is to make everything harmonious.
I used spring ones myself first. This is a Pajero in an old body, then TLK 60, Safari 160 ... Sprung masses, permanent leaf fractures ... including radical ones ... repairable, but much more difficult. Spring is simpler and more advantages ... So I am for this too correct solution…
Yes, Seryoga, don't talk. Almost after each competition, one or two springs were removed and straightened.
I think the direction is correct. The spring one is a bit of the last century. The spring one has more advantages ... And especially in e.nyah it is more repair
I wanted to bet on the account "2. Conversion of the spring suspension to the spring-lever.", But after looking at the pictures I changed my mind. Good luck in bringing your plans to life. +++++
You overtake again. :-)
Most likely it will also be A-shaped, but I have not decided yet.
Pictures are great, the main thing is that in life it doesn’t turn out worse;)
In general, a very correct decision. I, too, am going to transfer the ass to the A-shape ...
No matter how much you study, the bumps will still be yours. While everything is clear. And tomorrow, who knows.
about the spring suspension! Have you already studied the experience of the American comrades in a complex process? if you redo it, it seems to me that their experience in the construction should be taken into account! they are not only spring remodels and there are many well thought out solutions!
Good luck in implementing this very difficult evolutionary step in my opinion!
Yes, that is right. Farther away from the original, closer to the unattainable absolute.
A serious milestone in the life of Lemonade will be. Good luck with the implementation!
Of course, it was given ... I have a MS ... how can I do that without rockcrawling ...
This rockcrawling was given to you - this is the ordinary life of ordinary Canarian jeepers.
It's not about which country is captured in the photo, but the fact that this is rockcrawling, and these are Pindos!
These are the right moves, this is what I understand ... the Pindos are doing their job!
Well, no, I'd rather lose 10 kg, and you stay at your weight. And with a chair somehow decide.
Odyssey4x4
... and on the left, instead of a chair, it was decided to put a small stool (to reduce weight)
Then I make my own adjustments - I lose another 3-4 kg and instead of a stool we put a director's chair for me))
Or maybe without a stool. Get even easier.
But seriously, how can you offend such a navigator?
Need a proper chair!
... and on the left, instead of a chair, it was decided to put a small stool (to reduce weight)
Yes, Pasha, I really liked your idea with the same levers. But If I found a second pair of levers from the 70s to the 90s. Might follow your path. That's just something we have few of these levers, and the Range Rover is quite a lot ... There is a ready-made donor of the rear suspension - the Range Rover of the first years of production. Indestructibility is sufficient. The complexity of the conversion is about the same. Move - if they are superfluous, we will limit them.
That's exactly what it will be. Batteries will go to the rear, only this will be after the suspension has been reworked. And Masha will have a chair.
I want to talk about hydrach separately ...
Bogdan, you won't regret it!
Why A is the scapular at the back? In my opinion, the levers are structurally easier to install.
Less travel, but the design is more reliable. It takes a little over an hour to replace one lever. That's why I have all the levers are the same.
What hydraulic are you going to install?
P / S
A rudder booster for yourself and a stool for the navigator, aren't you ashamed, Mr. Pilot?
To make it easier, I put the batteries back in.
Battery rack racks are weight, and Masha, and chairs.
In a nutshell, I can’t find a right-handed one like mine. I want to leave my native steering scheme, but I can’t find a gearbox with hydraulic boost. It was put on the Cruiser, Dyna, Coaster from 1978 to 1885. We don't have those.
Therefore, you have to look for something completely different. And this other one (there are already three gearboxes) is placed much further on the frame, practically, instead of the pendulum lever. So I'm wondering how it will work.
A little more about "tractor traction, which does not allow the springs to be set normally"
Let's continue the topic of GU here: www.drive2.ru/cars/toyota…/288230376151941625/#post otherwise
it will be difficult to search later…
I put myself with 80
Cons went ahead, I had to strengthen the frame at the attachment point, reworking the steering column at the bottom, adding a cross.
Pluses there is no pendulum, a decrease in the number of steering ends, the tractor traction leaves without allowing the springs to be inserted normally.
I am for this change.
If not convinced, I can try to look for shabashki.
Although you yourself understand, we also don’t have such a year’s shabashka on every corner.
Write in private.
I'll post a picture of the gearbox tomorrow.

good direction :-)
didn't think to change the steering to hydraulic?
what tires are planned?
and it will be TP2?
about the blockage, that's for sure =) good luck with the transformation of Lemonade =)
I was supposed to start back in December, but as always, the end of the year is a complete blockage of cases.
Hooray! Arrived rear levers and rear axle stocking from 70s (donor). Work has gone! We start with the rear suspension.
Works are carried out under the motto "Give 100 inches!"
